About Viaraa: video calls in your language
Viaraa is a web app for one-to-one video conversations in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi and English, with women hosts aged 18 or over who chose to host and were checked by our team. You can also play the board games many of us grew up with, during a call or with friends.
This page explains, in one place, what Viaraa is, what it isn't, what it costs, who runs it and how to reach us.

What Viaraa is
Viaraa is for good conversation in your own language. Callers sign up free, see which hosts are online and video call the one they'd like to talk to. Each host lists the languages she speaks, so it's easy to find someone who speaks yours. Callers buy prepaid coins and pay per minute; each host's rate is shown before the call starts.
Free board games like Ludo, Snakes & Ladders, Pallanguzhi and Tiger & Goats can be played during calls, and with friends in groups. Act & Guess, where you act out a film title without speaking, is played on video calls.
Viaraa is for friendly conversation only. It is not an adult or escort service, and our Terms don't allow sexual content.
Why we built it
About 40 crore people in India live away from where they grew up (EAC-PM, "400 Million Dreams", December 2024). A new city can mean whole weeks without a relaxed conversation in your mother tongue. We wanted a simple, respectful way to have that conversation, face to face, with someone who speaks your language.
We also wanted it to be fair to hosts. Every coin callers spend on a host's calls and gifts goes to her: Viaraa takes no cut. Hosts choose their own hours and are paid every Monday to their own UPI ID.
How it works
- 1Sign up free with Google or your email, then choose a display name. That's all a host ever sees of you.
- 2Add coins from your Viaraa wallet with any UPI app.
- 3See who's online in Discover, pick someone who speaks your language and tap to call.
- 4Talk, play a game if you like, and end the call whenever you want. Each minute is charged as it starts.
Viaraa runs in your browser on Android phones, iPhones and computers, so there's nothing to download. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Our hosts
Every host is a woman aged 18 or over who applied to host on Viaraa. Our team checks each one before she can take calls, and anyone under 18 is refused. Hosts choose their own hours, set when they're online and can end any call. Callers see a host's display name, age, languages, a short "about" and her approved photos, never her email, date of birth or UPI ID.
